A Crown of Wishes

By Roshani Chokshi
A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Contains an extended excerpt from The Gilded Wolves.

From the author of The Star-Touched Queen comes a beautiful lush fantasy, Roshani Chokshi's A Crown of Wishes.


Gauri, the princess of Bharata, has been taken as a prisoner of war by her kingdom’s enemies. Faced with a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. Hope unexpectedly comes in the form of Vikram, the cunning prince of a neighboring land and her sworn enemy kingdom. Unsatisfied with becoming a mere puppet king, Vikram offers Gauri a chance to win back her kingdom in exchange for her battle prowess. Together, they’ll have to set aside their differences and team up to win the Tournament of Wishes – a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor.

Reaching the tournament is just the beginning. Once they arrive, danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans and mischievous story birds, a feast of fears and twisted fairy revels.

Every which way they turn new trials will test their wit and strength. But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.

“This is the book of stories and tales and desires. Ultimately, it shows how powerful one’s tale can be; how it can make or break us; how it can fuel our desire, our passion, and worst, our fears. The theme of a human’s story/tale is so intricately woven in this book especially within the competition. It shows that everyone had a story to tell, a story that matters to them, that is life and death for them as well. That their story, even if they’re a side character, a supporting character or literally anyone, it matters. The imagery of Alaka is vivid, bright and enchanting. The Hindu mythology so meticulously woven in each part of the book makes it more fantastical. I feel like I was tagging along the journey of Gauri and Vikram. From the description of the food, Gauri’s saris to the world of Alaka full of creatures hungry of desires, you can definitely feel like you’re living in their world. Speaking of Gauri and Vikram, they’re the literal definition of the haters/rivals to lovers trope! Their banters are just ridiculous, sweet, and one of a kind. Clearly their past time is insulting each other. Nonetheless, you can feel all the love and desire they have towards each other. Chokshi’s poetic writing when it comes to their love scenes are as otherworldly as Alaka. She didn’t relay on dialogues, rather on the character’s musings, hidden desires and actions. My favorite (and I still think about it) is when, due to their fear and shattered soul, instead of distracting their selves with heat and lust, Vikram made Gauri laugh instead. He distracted her with his tales, putting a smile on her face and warmth in her heart. If you’re looking for a book that will take you in to a magical world taken from Hindu mythology with humorous characters that banters 24/7, and something that will make you realize just how powerful stories are in our lives, then A Crown of Wishes is the book for you.”
